सर, आपने मीरा बाई से लेकर कन्हैयालाल सेठिया तक, जयपुर की सीमा मिश्रा से लेकर नागौर के कानदान कल्पित तक कई उदाहरण देकर 'राजस्थानी' को पूरे राजस्थान की भाषा साबित करने की कोशिश की।

लेकिन पूर्वी राजस्थान के एक भी क्षेत्र, लोक साहित्यकार का उदाहरण नहीं दे पाए!

यही विरोधाभास है।

[Arvind Chotia @arvindchotia]

डोळ तो कोनी दीखै लाख रिपियां को सो
फेर भी म्हारा भाई तू सुण,
राजस्थानी वा ई भासा है, जी मै मीरा बाई भजन गाया, राजस्थानी वा घ भासा है जी मै करमा बाई भगवान नै बुला र खीचड़ो खुवायो। राजस्थानी वा ई भासा है, जी मै चूरू रा कन्हैयालाल सेठिया जी "धरती धोरां री" अर "पातळ और पीथळ" सिरजी। राजस्थानी वा ई भासा है जी मै जैपर रा सीमा मिश्रा जी एक ऊं एक जोरका लोकगीत गाया है। राजस्थानी वा ई भासा है जी मै कोटा रा दुर्गादान सिंह जी गौड़ "गौरी गौरी गजबण बणी ठणी" गीत लिख्यो। राजस्थानी वा ई भासा है जी मै झुंझुनूं रा भागीरथ सिंह जी भाग्य "एक छोरी काळती" गीत लिख्यो। राजस्थानी वा ई भासा है जी मै नागौर रा कानदान जी कल्पित "डब डब भरिया, बाई सा रा नैण" जिस्यो विदाई गीत लिख्यो।
राजस्थानी वा ई भासा है जकी मै घणा ई टाबर पीएचडी अर एम ए कर रिया है। राजस्थानी वा ई भासा है जीकी सेवा वास्तै सीताराम जी लालस नै पद्म श्री सम्मान मिल्यो। राजस्थानी वा ई भासा है जकी मै केंद्रीय साहित्य अकादमी राजस्थानी साहित्यकारां नै सम्मान देवै।

अर सुण, राजस्थानी वा ई भासा है जकी आणै वाळा दिनां मै आपणी इस्कूलां मै भी पढ़ाई जावैगी।

सब री बोलियां न्यारी-न्यारी है पण मूल सब रो राजस्थानी है। एक भासा री जित्ती ज्यादा बोलियां होवै, वा भासा उत्ती ई समरथ मानी जै।

अब ओजूं मत आ ज्याई ज्ञान देवण

At 14, Sachin Tendulkar scored a century on his Ranji Trophy debut.

At 15, he handled Kapil Dev with ease in the nets when invited by Dilip Vengsarkar.

At 16, he was struck on the nose by a bouncer from Waqar Younis, yet went on to score a fighting fifty and help save the Test match.

At 16, he also took on the premier leg-spinner of that era, Abdul Qadir, smashing 53 off 18 balls and adding 65 runs with Srikkanth, whose contribution was just 12.

At 17, he scored 96 off 75 balls in a Ranji Trophy final while chasing 355, putting on a 134-run partnership with Vengsarkar.

At 17, he registered a match-saving Test century in England.

At 18, he became the first Indian to score a Test hundred at WACA Ground, widely regarded as one of the fastest pitches in the world, in his very first innings there despite having no prior exposure to such conditions.

Just because everything wasn’t recorded at the time doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

Comparisons are inevitable, but that doesn’t mean Tendulkar at 15 wasn’t already exceptional.

There is a calm that only comes from having nothing to lose. Shubham Dubey has it.
Since 2023, he has been the most destructive non-opener in the world. 544 runs, Average 49.45, Strike rate 181.33. Nobody with 500 plus runs has scored faster. Not one middle order batter.

Against Bengal in 2023, Vidarbha needed 213. Dubey walked in as impact player. 58* in 20 balls with 6 sixes. Highest successful chase in their history. He made it look like a routine job.

Last IPL, he took 22 off Pat Cummins. Next over, 22 off Adam Zampa. He treated them like net bowlers. That is what relentless practice does. A wide yorker becomes a half volley. A short ball disappears over mid wicket.

His father sold paan at Kamal Square in Nagpur. The stall gave the family just enough to survive. Dubey bunked classes to play tennis ball cricket. Man of the Match meant money for the house. He learned to clear the rope before he learned to leave outside off. When a coach asked about academy fees, he cried. His family could not afford it. Sudeep Jaiswal, a local advocate, saved him.

Before IPL money, he played for 6 months in Mumbai for Times Shield & earned 10000 rupees a month. Sent most home. Slept with 10 men in one room. Just young men with the same dream, breathing the same air, waiting for a break that might never come.

Rajasthan Royals did not find him by accident. Zubin Bharucha, their Director of High Performance, runs a centre in Talegaon near Nagpur. Dubey went there once with his mentor Irfan Razzak. He was just watching. Watching Yashasvi Jaiswal practice. Watching how professionals train. He met Romi Bhinder, the team manager. He met Bharucha.
They monitored his strike rates across grounds. Checked pace, Checked spin, Checked failure. His base price was 20 lakh. Bidding stopped at 5.8 crore for him. Nearly 30 times. Royals needed a left-handed Indian finisher who could hit high velocity pace.

The impact player rule has been good for him & he has been good for it. Against Punjab Kings yesterday, chasing 223, he came in. 31* in 12 balls. Strike rate 258. Faced Arshdeep, Jansen & Ferguson, All international bowlers & smashed all of them.

He floats now. Sometime Number 5, sometimes Number 6 or 7. Depends on the situation. Depends on who is bowling. Most finishers want a set role. Dubey just wants to bat.

Dubey would have been another tall boy in Nagpur who used to play cricket. Another paan seller's son who had a dream. India produces thousands of them. Most fade away. The system is designed to lose them. Too expensive. Too far from the centres. Too poor to afford the right connections.

Dubey survived because a few people saw something & acted on it. That is the real story. Not the sixes. Not the 5.8 crore. The story of a boy who had every reason to quit & never did. Who slept in rooms with 10 other boys & kept believing. Who cried when asked for fees & still came back the next day.

That is the finisher's mind. That is Shubham Dubey.

Riyan Parag has been really disappointing so far both with the bat and as a captain too! @rajasthanroyals

You remember the auction room of 2018. Some kid from Patiala, barely old enough to vote, zero first class games to his name, suddenly worth 4.8 crore. It looked like the kind of punt that destroys franchises.
7 years on, that same kid is hitting sixes like his life depends on it. Because it does.

From 2019 to 2022, Prabhsimran played just 6 IPL games. Punjab kept the chequebook open, kept him on roster, kept whispering about potential. But potential without release rots you. You spend nights in hotels carrying water bottles. You watch Gayle & Dhawan do your job. You start believing the auction price was a curse, not a blessing.

He ran to stay human. 7 kilometers, then 8. Every morning. The burning in his lungs was better than the silence of the bench.

Sachin Tendulkar told him something once; He said most boys would kill to sit where he sat. Told him to find contentment there. Sounds like advice for a monk, not a cricketer. But Prabhsimran clung to it.

Then 2023 happened. The Impact Player rule dropped. Purists screamed about death of cricket. For Prabhsimran, it was oxygen. He could swing from ball one without worrying about the collapse.

13th May 2023, Kotla. Delhi Capitals had them against the wall. He walked in & played the innings of his life. First 30 balls: 27 runs. Next 35: 76 runs. No other batter crossed even 20 runs for his team while he scored his 1st IPL century. Delhi missed the playoffs. Prabhsimran found himself.

But that is not why he bats like his life depends on it. You need to meet Sardar Surjit Singh, His father. Kidney failure. Three sessions a week hooked to machines. The house in Patiala is heavy with it. The only time the old man lights up is when his son opens for Punjab. They carry him to the couch before every game. Position the TV. For 3 hours, the sickness vanishes.

Think about that weight. Every boundary is not runs for him, It is medication. Every six is oxygen for an old man. When he says he plays for his father, he means it literally. The single joy in a week of hospital corridors & medical debt.

Come the 2025 auction, Punjab retained 2 players only. Shashank Singh & him. 4 crore for a keeper who had spent 4 years doing mostly nothing. He repaid them with 549 runs at 160 strike rate.

Shreyas Iyer gave him something simple; Freedom. Told him he was senior now. Told him one bad game would not end him. Freedom to fail.

Now he is flying. Strike rate pushing 173 this season. 80* against Mumbai off 39 balls. 51 off 25 against SRH. Each innings bigger than the last: 37, then 43, then 51, then 80*.
The boy who waited is now the man who delivers.
